on Dr Kelly post-mortem files to be released

Oh don't try to confuse us with facts, our minds are already made up: we have decided that this was a conspiracy and no amount of truth will ever convince us otherwise.

on Google under fire for using tax loopholes to save $3bn
Under fire for obeying the law?
The congress people who wrote these laws might be a legitimate target, but it seems churlish in the extreme to criticise a company for doing what each of us would do: use every deduction the tax law allows.
- on Hardliners call for deaths of Surrey Muslims Using the term "Wajib-ul Qatal" is a hate-crime and should be punished as such. Death to anyone who calls for the death of anyone!
- on Johann Hari: A colder, crueller country
  Only partly thanks to Mr Osbourne, Johann.
  Mostly thanks to the government and people of Britain who, for the previous 12 years, simply thought they could keep on spending more than they made without the bank manager ever twigging.
- on Where to get bargain green goods online?
  Yep. Buy something from overseas and get them to put it on an airplane. That's really green.
- on Leading article: The fiscal tail wags the military dog
  Egads! Does this mean that we will have to content ourselves with the military we can afford? What happened to just taking how ever much money we think we might need from our children and grandchildren?
- on Mark Steel: Shamed by our spirit of protest
  Yeah Mark, we're wimps. We should be out in the streets damaging property and hurting other people, like the French, or wiping out more of Britain's wealth with a general strike like the Spanish. I know this might lose our nose, but it certainly would spite our face, wouldn't it?
